Chateau La Croix des Pins Ventoux Rouge

The Rhone wine region in Southern France is the source of some lovely wines. The village of Ventoux is often over-shadowed by the famous Chateauneuf-du-Pape, but those wines carry a price tag so finding incredible value is always a nice treat. This is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Marselan and Carignan. It’s loaded with black plum, blackberry jam, intense black pepper spice and a hint of black licorice. It’s supple, round and juicy and calls for another glass or two.
